The countdown is on to the 17th edition of the Whistler Film Festival. ‘Canada’s coolest film fest’ will be cooler than ever with fresh films, epic events, special guests, industry connections, talent programs and time to play.

But all of this isn’t possible without the support of our Patrons. We rely on the generosity of film fans and or filmmakers like you who share our commitment to nurturing artists, supporting unique and diverse creative voices, furthering the reach of independent films around the world, and putting Whistler and British Columbia on the map as an essential destination for the art and business of film.

Our Patrons Circle campaign is about connecting with our supporters to increase our impact for the communities that we serve and to enhance our programs for Canadian artists and audiences.

Plus, a portion of your purchase will directly support our annual programs for Canadian artists and audiences.

And if you can’t attend in person you have the option of transferring your pass to someone else in your inner circle or applying your pledge directly to one of our programs.

Tax receipts for the maximum allowable amount will be issued annually with each pledge.

THE FINE PRINT:

All sales are final. Please check your order carefully before you finalize your registration.

Patron passes are transferable with advance notice (10 days).

Passes are limited and subject to availability.

Patrons are guaranteed a seat until 15 minutes before show time. A generous allotment of seats are reserved for pass-holders at each film screening. While a pass does not guarantee seating, pass-holders are allowed access until either that allotment has been reached or in the cash of busy screenings until 15 minutes before show time. After that pass-holders must join the ticket line and take their chances. If seats remain available by the time the pass-holders reach the Box Office, they will not have to purchase tickets, rather they will be given a ticket and may immediately enter the theatre.

All prices are in Canadian dollars.

Orders are subject to a 5% GST (Goods & Services Tax).

Each Registration includes a one-year Basic Membership to the Whistler Film Festival Society.
